OSWEGO, NY — The Oswego State men’s soccer team has made history. They opened the season with a 5-1-1 record; the program’s best since 1959. Head coach Dan Kane said the team’s early success is due to the support his players have for one another.

“I think our guys have come together really well. They’ve supported each other and they enjoy playing with each other,” Kane said.

The scoreboard reflects the team’s cooperation on the field. The Lakers scored a total of 13 goals throughout their entire last season. This year they’ve scored 13 goals in their first three games.

Senior midfielder Connor Lunduski has been at the center of his team’s success and said he wants to make sure the team’s historic start isn’t a distraction.

“Honestly we just take it one game at a time. It really hasn’t sunk in that it’s the best start we’ve had in awhile but, it’s definitely something after the season we’ll cherish but we still have a lot more we want to accomplish,” Lunduski said.

With more than half of their season still to play, there is plenty of time to accomplish even more. For the schedule for Oswego’s men’s soccer team, visit http://oswegolakers.com/schedule.aspx?path=msoc.
